Halo-halo and ice candy are summertime treats. But for 11% of Filipinos living in remote areas like Barangays San Mateo and Minuyan in Norzagaray, Bulacan, who have no access to electricity, those are not exactly household summer staples.

However, this will soon change as Republic Aggregates, together with Meralco and the Norzagaray LGU, recently broke ground for a project that paves the way for the future electrification of these barangays. With the plant soon to be connected to the grid, households in the area will be able to apply for a connection with Meralco following the first phase of the project.

Breaking ground to pave the way for a brighter future for the residents of Barangay San Mateo and Barangay Minuyan.
